The HVCC appraisal “situation” is quite the topic these days. Hopefully the petition will help the lawmakers see that we need a reasonable solution to the problems that HVCC is causing everyone involved in this industry not least of which is the end consumer. Here is a WSJ article on the forces that caused the recent spike in rates. While this is old news to the blog-o-sphere, it is still quite topical.

The Great Pendulum Swing! We went from fast n loose to over-regulated. We've gone from gonzo seller's market and seller greed to the other extreme. Swings in interest rates, Swings in markets, Swings seem to be the "new normal". On another note, your rant about lack of IR on I-phone is right on! Hint on Treo battery... buy a spare! the old Treo's (300 and prior) had Even Worse battery life than the 600+series units, if you can believe that! you could actually SEE the battery life indicator falling before your very eyes!! check out my blog, man! you've got a rocker here!!
